Hi Paulie I do not know who you called or contacted about Bagged coal but here are the three biggest companies that bagcoal also here are a few bulk loose coal breakers that will haul up to you as much coal as you can handel and here are some more Stoker boiler companies you might want to call if you need more info let me know

Below are the three biggest bagged coal companies and bulk loose coal also the second Reading link is a Standard Anthracite Coal sizing chart

Thank You for the info....I owe you a meal. Blaschak has a dealer close to me....basically they are not interested. Readinghas a dealer close, but they do not do bagged or rice, so they are sending me some info. I will call the other bagged placein the AM. Seems that in my area pea,nut and rice coal are it. Rice for the newer stoves, pea and nut for the older models. I am thinking that bagged is the way to start. Not many people here are set up for bulk delivery. Mostly stove use, not so much boilers etc. I suspect that will change soon. Interestingly enough, many older homes still have coal bins, just notused. I think for my own use, I will install stoker stoves, burning rice.Take my oil burner down a nozzle size, keep it on the hot water. If all goes well, with what I save, I will spring for a boiler.I have a 200 +year old colonial with many flues. I have lined them with ss 6" liners for the wood stoves. The chimneys are healthy,but with lime stone mortar, I did not want issues. They are rated for coal use. If all goes reasonably well, boilers for the greenhouses. Now the quality standards. Ash content etc. More to learn. Red ash, white ash......a few more nights here! Again, thanks for the info.....absolutely priceless.
